5.3 AT^SPIC Display PIN counter
Syntax
Command Description
The execute command returns the number of attempts still available for entering the currently required password,
e.g. the PIN, PUK, PH-SIM PUK etc. To check whether or not you need to enter a passworduse commands
AT+CPIN? and AT+CPIN2?.
If the responses to "
AT+CPIN?" and "AT+CPIN2?" both read "READY", there is no currently required password,
and the referrer of the execute command "AT^SPIC" is explicitly undefined.
Parameter Description
Number of attempts for the currently required password. This number will be counted down after each failure.
Notes
• Whenever the required password changes, <counter> changes to reflect that change. Please refer to the
examples below.
• Use the read commands "
AT+CPIN?" and "AT+CPIN2?" to check which password is currently required.
If the responses to "
AT+CPIN?" and "AT+CPIN2?" both read "READY", there is no currently required pass-
word, and the referrer of the execute command "AT^SPIC" is explicitly undefined.
• For passwords associated to the phone lock (''PS'' lock set by client or factory) or other factory set locks, such
as ''PF'', ''PN'', ''PU'', ''PP'', ''PC'' the number of attempts is subject to a timing algorithm explained in
AT+CPIN. If these passwords are incorrectly entered the counter first returns 3, 2 and 1 remaining attempt(s),
but then gives the total number of attempts which amounts to 63 (see example below).
